Part of the testing strategy indicates that you are going to be using systematic test design techniques. Your manager has asked that you present the main advantages of using these techniques at the next board meeting. Identify THREE main benefits of using systematic test design techniques within this company.

• A.Easier to quickly adapt testing to changing requirements compared to experienced-based testing
• B.Targets certain types of faults
• C.Will guide experienced testers to find defects
• D.Provides a way to differentiate depth of testing based on product risks by using different techniques
• E.More enhanced documentation and therefore higher repeatability and reproducibility
• F.Will make non-systematic testing redundant
• G.Will reduce the need for early reviews

Correct Answer: B,D,E

• A.By detecting all deviations from coding good practice and ensuring that these are corrected
• B.By measuring reliability of the software and ensuring that it is always above 99.99%
• C.By identifying root causes of defects from past projects and using the lessons learned to improve processes and thus help to reduce the defect count
